• Identified project level requirements for an experimental payload based on customer inputs, design constraints and manufacturability concerns. Decomposed requirements to subsystem and component levels.
• Created test plans and specific test procedures for developmental, qualification and acceptance test campaigns.
• Designed and built test stand with integrated motor control and data acquisition systems to provide a dynamic load to the test article. Fully automated the test process to reduce test cycle durations from 3 days to 2.
• Personally led a team of 3 engineers to bring the test stand online and conduct developmental and qualification testing.
• Utilized python to automate test data analysis, plot creation and test report generation. Test script utilized REST API to publish reports directly to confluence.
• Updated and released internal test standards based on GSFC-STD-7000 to standardize companywide testing practices over all programs.

Kent, WA, US

• Contact ended after HLS bid was lost.
• Responsible for managing risks, interfaces, and requirements for the mechanisms team on the Descent Element for the Human Lander System.
• Utilized DNG (Doors Next Generation) to manage requirements from concept through review and initial release.
• Lead meetings between mechanisms and other groups to drive key design decisions, establish interfaces and generate interfacing requirements.
• Built out detailed verification objectives to match all requirements with specific verification plans and supported test plan creation and review with the integration and test team.

Long Beach, CA, US

• Responsible engineer for fairing and payload attach fitting through requirements definition, initial trade studies and detailed analysis.
• Performed initial trade studies and first order sizing estimates for multiple subsystems across the vehicle including the thrust vector control system and reaction control system.
• Ran initial trade studies for customers on payload packaging and payload separation architectures to secure critical launch contracts.
• Created an initial dynamics model of the electric thrust vector control actuator in python to decompose the vehicle level control requirements to the TVC component requirements.
• Designed and built a self-reacting test stand that provided a reactive load to unit test the electric thrust vector control actuator, controller, and power systems at the sub-system level for development work and.

• Developed tool in Matlab/Simulink to analyze stage, fairing and payload separation. Ran Monte Carlo analysis to test sensitivities, inform design decisions, and validate requirements.
• Compiled and presented separation performance data to customers as part of the standard launch service agreement.
• Developed system model to predict performance of next generation of LauncherOne. Worked with multiple departments to establish realistic design goals at the subsystem level and conducted trade studies on multiple.
• Utilized python and an elasticsearch database to automate the mass properties budget, merging data from predicted models and production data for comparison and estimation of future build to build variation.
• Ran initial trades of future launch vehicle configurations to determine the most impactful design changes to maximize future payload performance.
• Designed and tested separation mechanisms. Used test data to anchor modeling assumptions so that model could be used to predict performance under flight conditions.

• PATENT US10538335B2: Boundary layer ingestion integration into aft fuselage https://patents.google.com/patent/US10538335B2/en?oq=10538335
• Interfaced with engine companies to develop requirements for future propulsion systems to meet Boeing goals for 2030.
• Developed an engine modeling tool in Simulink utilizing NPSS and T-MATS to model the thermodynamics of a full engine cycle in order to more accurately perform trade studies.
• Performed detailed analysis on thrust, drag and fuel burning characteristics of designs to help inform the team on which projects to move forward on.

Santa Rosa, California, US

• Responsible for taking custom test equipment and microwave switch matrices from electrical layout through to fully integrated rack mounted system designing all mechanical and thermal management systems required.
• Coordinated supply chain for mechanical components, built work orders and lead technicians through resolving any integration issues that came up through first build.

-Lead a project looking at the issue of increased unnamed aircraft use in domestic airspace over the next five to ten years which culminated in a written report and a final presentation to the HSSAI staff.-Lead interviews and engaged in discussions with a wide variety of experts.-Worked closely with the aviation security team in other FOA (for official use.

Fort Collins, CO, US
